` .To atl 107mm- 'it may concern Be it known that I, STEPHEN H. BLoD-on'rer, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lincoln, county oi'li'liddlesex, State ot 5 Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and'useful improvement in Receptacles, of which the .following isaspeciicaton, i-e"r `er ence being had therein to the accompanyingdrawings.

My invention reiates to paper receptacles of the type made from a narrowstrip or ribbon of card-board spirally wound to vform the side-s orwalls of the receptacle` and a bottoni consisting ot a disk ofcard-boord. These receptaces are intended particularly for useascuspidors and the iike, where .cheap receptacles which can be burnedor otfiierwise destroyed are required. tleretofore, in receptacles ot'the kind described, it has been customary to support the bottoni upon anadditional coil or coils of the ribbon superposed on the inside bottomedge the conical. Wal of the recepta zle. This 'l c Y e obiectionabiebecause tue cotton;

Fur.- reoeptaeie embodying .entioinis especiaily adapted to be bi" rea ,birreria w 2i. tnliy understood'painiy seen troni the following description taken. in connection withthe accompanying drawings, and the novel features will be pointed outand clearly defined at-the close ofthe specification.

Figure l is a view in perspective of a cuspidor embodying my invention.F ig. Y2 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on asomewhat enlarged scale.

Referring to the drawings, there is shown at ceptacle is constructed. AtB, is shown the bottom which is a circular disk out from card-board orother suitable material. The receptacle is made by spirally Winding theribbon of card-board over a form or inandrel of suitable shape, suitubieadhesive being applied to the overlapping portion of the ribbon as theribbon is wound. ln practieethe ribbon is usually made to overlap adistanceequai to about one-hall" its Width. The Winding' of the ribbonis begun at'the bottom, and the ribbon is first spiit for a distance@quai to two coils or turns. This portion is then wound in superposedcoils u on 'the mandrel with the edge of the bottoni in@n the slit inthe paper and glue @died to the opposing oif the ribi'ion of ce rdboa-rdas it is nomini. lifter "l coils ot' ribbon have n Wound on the manu i,at le: 1 n or coil ot he unslit i" en, b Ang: appiied in suci p lieexactlfy trio prerious coiis,

What l Claim is:

l. A receptacle composed of spirally wound ribbon and a bottom, aportion of the spirally wound ribbon at the bottom of the receptaclebeing split, and the edge of the bottoni oi' the receptacle beingreceived between the two halves of the split portion of the ribbon.

' 2. An improved receptacle comprising sides composed of ribbon spirellywound and a. bottoni, tbe lower portion of said ribbon beingr split fore length of at least one coil, the bottom being received Within the saidsplit in the seid ribbon.

3. An improved receptacle Comprising sides composed of ribbon spirallyWound and a bottom, the lower portion of said ribbon being split for alength of at least one coil, the bottom being received within the saidsplit in the said ribbon, there being a' coil of the unsplit portion ofthe ribbon overlying said split portion.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
